[comprehensive] dear king

Ten years have passed since Wang left this land.No one knows where he went, and no one knows when he will come back, and whether he will come back. For the children born after he left, "Gilgamesh" is just a name that is occasionally mentioned by parents.

The names they hear more often are "Miss Kaori" or "Miss Kaioli" - because Kaori's pronunciation is a bit awkward, the children prefer to call her Kaioli. Political affairs, two years earlier, Ur sent an army to attack Uruk. The youngest son of the leader of Ur, Mesangnepada, took the lead and once fought under the city wall of Uruk.

The other party's request to retreat is also very simple, it can even be said to be so simple that it makes people furious - he hopes that Kaori can marry him as a concubine, and thinks that this is a great honor for the girl who was born as a slave girl. After refusing, he stormed the walls of Uruk.

Fire attacks, water attacks, and battering rams were all used, and the defense battle was very difficult. The opponent had military supplies from outside, but Uruk was stretched because of the siege.

This battle lasted for nearly half a year, relying on the food and proper distribution that Gilgamesh left in the palace, and survived the battle. Even so, there were still scars that could not be erased on the periphery of the palace.

In the end, Ereshkigal, who was furious because he hadn't seen Kaori for several days, cast a curse on Ur's army, which made the team retreat.

Then King Aga of Kish persuaded the lords of other city-states to give up attacking Uruk. He was old and saw things more thoroughly than young people.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to take away the treasure accumulated by Gilgamesh, but trying to bully his beloved girl while he is away is very embarrassing - if the treasure is lost, it can be retrieved. But his beloved wife was insulted, and when he came back, it would turn into an endless revenge.

Even though the lords scoffed at his argument, Aga still decided to stand on Uruk's side, which was his wisdom and kindness as an old man.

Thanks to their service, after enduring the war in the early years, there was finally a period of peace.

Kaori will never forget this period of time. She was originally not good at fighting, and her personality was not tough. Whenever she encountered casualties caused by war, all she could do was bury them, then wipe away her tears and continue to do it. Follow what you should do.

"I want to go for a walk on the city wall," Kaori said to Siduri beside her after dealing with the food distribution, "just for a while."

"You've been like this every day for ten years. There's really nothing you can do about it. Well, just for a while." Siduri put away the clay tablet in her hand, "How long do we have to wait?"

"There is no way around this." Kaori smiled, "Maybe he will be back today?" The girl smiled optimistically, "Look, every day that passes, the day when he comes back is getting closer, Xi Didn't Du Li think the same way?"

"I'll go with you." Anyway, today's work is done.

"Ah."

"I also want to thank Siduri, who has helped me for ten years, without you—"

"What are you talking about? Isn't this my duty as the head priestess of Ishtar?"

-

The traveler dragged his tired body, and the blowing wind rustled the weeds outside the city.

It used to be a jewel on the banks of the Euphrates, shining brightly even at night, with songs floating in the sound of the river's waves.

however--

The owner of this pearl has been away for a long time.

The king of Uruk, Gilgamesh resolutely left this land more than ten years ago in pursuit of immortality.Ishtar is not taking care of here either.

Gradually, some residents left here, and wars and famines took turns to destroy the country that lost its king.

The wind lifted the traveler's turban and shawl, and the wooden walking stick in his hand printed a shallow crater on the ground. He raised his head to look at the slightly dilapidated city wall, which was left over from many battles. scars.

—unspeakably shabby and dilapidated.

A group of children clapped their hands and sang outside the city. The oldest one looked about seven or eight years old, and the others were younger. When a traveler walked into them, the children stared warily at this hooded and shawl-covered, leaning A stranger with a wooden walking stick.

"Give me some water," said the traveler.

The children looked at each other.

"What's the matter?" The girl's voice sounded from above the city wall, she came down from the city wall, and the children quickly hid behind her, "Master Kaioli, there is a strange stranger." " The girl raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on the traveler.

Then the girl slowly stood up straight, her eye sockets gradually filled with a moist swelling.

"Give me some water." The traveler threw away his cane and held out his hand to her.

However, no clay bowl filled with water was delivered to him, and Kaori threw herself into the arms of that person.

——It was the wailing of grievances, the tears of reunion after a long absence, and the joy of believing in a response.

he will be back.

All the people who are still in this land believe in the king, and the residents who believe in themselves have such a firm belief.

The king will be back.

ten years,

20 years,

30 years,

—Gilgamesh will always come back.

The children looked blankly at the girl holding the traveler and crying like a child, until she tore off the traveler's turban covering her face, revealing her half-length blond hair and red eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I tried my best, I'm sorry..." The girl cried and apologized, "I'm sorry, Uruk has become like this, I'm sorry..."

"Stupid." Wang scolded softly, "Isn't it better this way?"

The girl raised her face and looked at him sobbing.

"Because there is nothing, it is more valuable to develop."

"—I'm giving you such an honor, because you have worked hard for decades."

"Follow me, let's create an extremely brilliant kingdom with me, and start from scratch!"

Kaori nodded vigorously, and let go of the Golden King who had returned from a long journey and had finally ended her long childhood.

—Ah, of course, there are other things to do before that.

It was too late and then it was too fast, Siduri, who was patrolling in the distance, sprinted over [-] meters with lightning speed, and kicked Jier as firmly as Uruk White Temple's kick. On Gamesh's abdominal muscles, "Huh?! King? Are you finally willing to come back?" The chief priestess of Ishtar, who has lived in this land for more than ten years, helped Kaori deal with the headaches and despair In the process of passing documents up and down for a long time, the priestess, who had developed commendable leg strength and arm strength, smiled kindly, and took out two burnt clay tablets from behind, "In the re- Before establishing a country, shouldn't we do something? Like apologizing or something? Uh huh?"

"... Siduri, where did you take out the clay tablet..." A drop of cold sweat dripped from Kaori's head, but Siduri handed one of them to Kaori, "Come on, don't just because you came back The traveler is merciful, don't you also have very hot feelings that can't be conveyed to him through words? Use your strength, don't show mercy."

The priestess, who had accumulated grievances against the king for decades, smiled happily.

Wang was severely beaten at the gate of the old city of Uruk.

This is the only special experience he has had in his 30s and never wants a second time.

As a result, even after several years, when he saw Sidhuli, he was still in a cold sweat.

The king, who had returned from his long journey, appeared once again in front of the people who were still in Uruk.

Because many troublesome hidden dangers have been left in more than ten years, and the original city of Uruk has been dilapidated, Gilgamesh made a very bold decision. Renovating them all is no small project.

The existence of Gilgamesh is a miracle. When he really devotes himself to a certain thing, everything will turn into a spinning top. He mercilessly takes out his own wealth in exchange for labor from other city-states. The huge labor vacancy created by the renovation of the old city was quickly filled by foreigners who heard that there were jobs here.

Hearing that the king came back from afar, the residents who left Uruk gradually returned to their homeland and participated in the construction of the new city. From the construction of the main road, Gilgamesh had to personally take care of everything. This incomparably huge workload meant that only he could handle multiple things at the same time without making any mistakes.

For this, Kaori can only feel ashamed, she will collapse just processing the corresponding documents of the original city.

Thinking of this, the girl stuffed a rice ball into his mouth. Because he was too busy to eat, Kaori took care of Gilgamesh's daily life and gave it to him when his hands were occupied by writing on the clay board. He feeds, because if she doesn't, the guy probably won't eat anything all day and won't even notice that he hasn't eaten all day.

For the convenience of eating, Kaori specially made the rice balls into a size that can be swallowed in one bite.

"Well... this main road is not allowed to be changed at all, what?! Want to take a slight detour? No way! No way! This was originally designed to prevent fires, don't tell me no!" Wang swallowed the rice ball in his mouth , and reprimanded the worker in charge of the project in front of him, "If it still doesn't work, I'll come over later and personally guide you how to do it."

"Do you want to rest for 5 minutes?" Kaori smiled.

"No need." Gilgamesh put down the documents in his hand, "I haven't fallen to the point of doing these jobs yet."

Kaori couldn't help laughing.

——The king who returned from the underworld, Gilgamesh who ended his long childhood, is indeed a virtuous king worthy of the name.

Oh... I can't change the point of being brave.

It would be great if... it could go on like this forever.
